How to prepare the walls for painting?

We long for versatility and one way to bring it into our life is home renovation. Fresh colors, new furnishings, beautiful décor… We can’t wait to get started! But it won’t work if you fail to prepare your walls for painting. Peeling paint, cracks and dints, old stains showing through can spoil the result before you even get started. Don’t worry, these simple tips will make the process of painting walls easy and comfortable for you!

Start by removing furniture, curtains, pictures, mirrors and other decorations. If there is something that you can’t take away, cover these objects with fabrics. You can also use special film for furniture that won’t slip off and will protect every centimeter of your belongings.

Dirty walls are difficult to paint. That’s why you should wash them first using a light detergent in frequently touched areas or if you are painting walls in the kitchen where oil stains are common. After that, make sure to wipe off the remains of the detergent and wait until the surface is completely dry.

Kids have their own understanding of interior design and often try to improve it using a pencil set you gave them for birthday. These areas need thorough cleaning as well. If this doesn’t work, try covering the marks with a primer.

Glossy areas are just as bad for renovation as dirty ones. To make the walls rougher and improve paint adhesion, use sandpaper. Once you’re done, remove extra sand with a clean

Nail holes, scratches, cracks and other drawbacks that can spoil a newly painted wall. Using a putty knife, smooth out the wall surface and then use spackling to remove all

If you see that the door or window trim doesn’t adjoin to the wall, fill the the crevices with a compound and press it down with your finger until it sticks. After it dries, sand it a bit to provide better adhesion. If you see any wrinkles on the resulting surface, apply the second layer of compound.

If you are painting walls that have traces of previous renovations, use a putty knife to delete old peeling paint. When finished, smooth the borders with sandpaper.

Before proceeding to painting walls, cover the floor with paper. That will save you from scraping off ugly spots of splashed paint.

After your renovation is complete, you can give your room a finishing touch by decorating it with a fine piece of contemporary art.

My friend and I went camping the other day. It was a horrific experience, as he wouldn’t let me sleep all night. He kept talking about random subjects and whined about his insomnia. I totally told him to site and deal with it.
